At the Zurich Film Festival, local filmmaking takes center stage. The rise of Swiss cinema is largely due to Zurich's thriving film industry. With the 14th Zurich Film Night, we want to show, together with the Zürcher Filmstiftung and Film Commission Zurich, how successful Swiss films are developed, financed and shot in Zurich. The aim of the evening is to demonstrate the economic and social importance of filmmaking to politicians.
